In this volume internationally well known experts discuss whether
psychoanalysis - with its rich mix of clinical experiences and
conceptualizations of early development and symptoms - has
something unique to offer through deepening the understanding of
children suffering from this and similar developmental
disturbances. The contributors consider therapeutic strategies as
well as possibilities of early prevention. Surprisingly,
psychoanalysts have only during the past few years actively engaged
in the on-going and very important controversial discussions on
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). There may be many
reasons for the increasing interest in this topic over the past few
years - for example the dialogue between psychoanalysis and
contemporary neurobiology/brain research which opens a fascinating
window on an old problem in European culture: the mind-body
problem. This exchange also promises to enlarge the understanding
of psychic problems probably connected with some
neurobiologically-based pathologies, widely assumed to include
ADHD.
This book contains a continuation and expansion of the topics
covered in the author's previous book, Psychoanalysis: from
Practice to Theory, about the use of theories in analytic practice.
As a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA)
Conceptual Research Committee and Chair of the Working Party on
Theoretical Issues, the author, who teaches at Nanterre University,
has studied and taught on the subject for several years, as well as
writing many articles on it. The book will be particularly useful
for psychoanalytical and psychotherapeutic societies, as well as
for research committees.

In contemporary psychoanalysis, the concepts of time and history
have become increasingly complex. It is evident that this trend
offers us an opportunity to think about the intercrossing of the
different temporal dimensions imbuing the subject, an inevitable
aspect of the analytic process. History is time past but what is
recovered is now the working through of the subject history, which
carries the mark of both passing time and re-signifying time. It is
precisely the notion of history that gains different dimensions
when a purely deterministic analysis is disassembled. Continuities
and breaks are found between subjective time and chronological
time; between the inevitable decrepitude of the biological body
with the passing of time and the timelessness of the unconscious;
between linear, circular times and retroactive re-signification;
between facts, screen memories, memory and the work of constructing
history; between the times of repetition and the times of
difference; between reversible and irreversible time; between the
timelessness of the unconscious and the temporalities of the ego.
In this book, the authors compare different psychoanalytic thinking
and models - all of a rigorously Freudian stamp - on three concepts
of great theoretical and clinical importance: language,
symbolization, and psychosis.

This book compares different psychoanalytic thinking and models
from a rigorously Freudian perspective on three concepts of great
theoretical and clinical importance: Language, Symbolization, and
Psychoses. These concepts are significantly interwoven with each
other both in personal development as well as in the atypical and
individual forms of pathology. The authors have endeavored to reply
to one of the foremost queries that has occupied Jacqueline Amati
Mehler's thinking: whether and how the acquisitions of modern
psychoanalysis have brought about changes in our criteria of
analysability; whether our increased knowledge has lead to a
greater therapeutic capacity, as she believes; and whether, as a
consequence, we must endorse the so-called flexibility of the
setting and the classical methods, as she does not believe.
A major challenge for the future of psychoanalysis as a science and
as a profession, both in theory and in practice, is the ongoing
development of conceptual, clinical and empirical research. This
volume brings together some of the foremost contributors to this
complex issue and should be of interest to all who are interested
in the fundamental nature of the discipline of psychoanalysis and
its continued growth and health.

This book compiles the papers presented at an International
Conference, "Pluralism of Sciences: The Psychoanalytic Method
between Clinical, Conceptual and Empirical Research" in 2002. It
provides the variety and diversity of psychoanalytic research
cultures in different psychoanalytic societies.
